Go! uptown. Go! downtown. Go! out of town. The Loft Go! is the perfect urban e-bike built to handle the rigors of the streets. With an 8-speed internal gear hub and four levels of support from Eco to Turbo mode, the Bosch Active System gives you the power to charge up any hill or head to the next district over with ease.

The Loft Go! is an intuitive ride that comes in a step-thru frame for easy on and off maneuverability. The simple functionality is enhanced by color-matched fenders, front and rear lighting, and heavy duty racks to ensure a comfortable, safe ride in any condition. Roll easy over urban terrain and potholes with 700c Schwalbe Fat Frank puncture-resistant tires, while hydraulic disc brakes make sure you can stop on a dime.

I recently purchased the Loft Go, after a lot of research and accepting the cost of a good e-bike. Yes, it's a significant investment in something that is just catching on in North America, but this bike is amazing. I can ride further and longer, getting great exercise while not exceeding my abilities. I am well into my 60's and have fairly severe arthritis - but I can ride 20-50+ km and have a pleasant ride while still getting my exercise. You need to re-learn certain things you normally would do with a regular bike simply because of the additional weight. You need more time to slow down and it is safer to get on and off once your feet are firmly on the ground on either side of the frame. Once you adjust to this (5 minutes), you will enjoy every ride! The seat is comfortable, the gears beautifully calibrated and easy to change, and the battery last a long time. I have yet to reduce it by more than a couple of bars. This bike is even a dream to ride with the battery turned off. If you're in the market for an e-bike, check this one out!
